Apart from the Carlos Coronel let down, (which was totally all his fault by the sounds of it).😤

It's been a very good holiday 🎄🎁transfer season for OCSC.

One last gift would be for Luis Muriel to finalize his way out of our club. 📤👋🏽

We can figure out the rest in 2026.😊

Ricardo Moriera is attempting an entire squad "reload" to prepare for 2026.

Transfers in, transfers out, contract talks, SuperDraftees, OCB, etc.

The list goes on.

I can't remember a busier December for OC transfers news, in years.

Just be patient, let the man cook. 👍🏽👨‍🍳

MLS owns Inter Miami.

MLS owns Messi.

The MLS broadcast partners are AppleTV, who also pay Messi.

The MLS official kit supplier is Adidas, who also pay Messi.

It's in the League's and their major partner's financial interests for Miami and Messi to win trophies.

Simple.

"Instead, Burke said, the PA has proposed the NWSL raise the salary cap by $1 million beginning in 2026, which is the same amount of money that the league is proposing each team could spend through the HIP rule."

NWSL NEWS

The NWSL PA has expressed opposition to the NWSL's new (HIP) rule to pay star players outside of the salary cap.
